Costa Rica 2024
A special invitation to travel with me and connect more deeply to ourselves and our sobriety. It’s time to celebrate how far we’ve come.
If someone had invited me to go on a sober vacation four years ago I think I would have spit out my drink and laughed in their face. What on earth would be enjoyable about exploring a beautiful destination without a complimentary buzz? I was only interested in booze-heavy, all-inclusive packages that would allow me to check out the moment I checked in. I was more excited to find the seediest dive bar in a new city than I was to find any real culture and if I did make it to the art museum or the beautiful nature reserve on my list I was half drunk and distracted. I missed everything.
In a lot of ways I feel like I’m only starting my exploration of the world now that I’m sober. I’ve been to some incredible places but I’m not sure I ever really saw them. I want to share that with you. I want to experience that newness, that awe, that feeling of wonder with people who understand the fight I had to win to be there. I want to create a new travel experience, one that celebrates not only the natural beauty of the places we visit, but the beauty of the journey that led us there.
I’m a big believer in timing. When the timing is wrong there’s no amount of effort or force to make it right. Last year I tried launching a trip, also to Costa Rica, but problem after problem arose and ultimately I had to cancel it. I was devastated. I wanted so badly to provide this tranquil, safe space for the community I’d so lovingly built. I wanted to meet my sober IG friends in real life and cry and laugh and share and dance in the rainforest. The universe had other plans. It had something better.
The trip I’ve put together for 2024 is the trip I was meant to plan. I added more days, more cities, and more activities. All of the activities are priced into the trip this time with the exception of the zip line tour (I’m not about to force someone with a fear of heights on a zip line, that shit is real). We will begin our journey in October and end it in November. We will celebrate Halloween together and walk through the clouds arm in arm. I will tell you my stories and you will tell me yours. We will bring all the pieces of ourselves that we can’t bring anywhere else and they will be celebrated.
I feel in my bones that there’s a reason Costa Rica has been calling me to come and stay with her. I’ve never been before and each time I deep dive on the places we will go and the culture that we will explore, something lights up inside of me.
I know that this won’t be the right time for everyone, we are all in different places with work and finances and family and life-but I know that who it is for it is REALLY for. I’d be honored if you went on this trip with me, trusted me with your time and resources, and surrendered to whatever it might bring. I can promise that I’ll bring everything I’ve got.
Cheers to 2024, new experiences, new friends, divine timing, and Pura Vida!!!
